The way you just framed this question kind of answers it without having to analyze. Obviously "experiential" understanding can't come through debate. Debate is a type of experience, naturally, but the term "experiential understanding" specifically refers to emptiness achieved through non-conceptual discernment, at least as I understand the term

Hi tjampel, nice to see you posting again,

Any understanding of emptiness that I have myself was first arrived at through non-conceptual understanding and practice - and general analysis came later, so I guess thats rather like putting 'the cart before the horse' to coin an old English expression.

Sorry but I'm not able to read much here at the moment because I'm getting headaches through too much exposure to computer font....which is why I made a request for spacing/paragraphs in the announcements section, because I can't read blocks of text on a screen at the moment without getting visual disturbances.
